Introduce Some Funny Books to Your Kids

It's never too early to introduce children to books. I am a huge fan of buying books for kids and there are some fabulous books to choose from. Books are a great way to teach children and they encourage a love of reading too. Here's my list of 5 books for 2 year olds that I love:
 
The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson - This is a very popular book and with good reason. It's the story of a clever mouse that spins a yarn about a scary creature called a Gruffalo. But the mouse soon realizes that the Gruffalo is real. The mouse then needs to rely on his quick wit to deal with the situation.
 
Little Owl Lost by Chris Haughton - A baby owl falls out of his nest and goes looking for his mummy. He meets other animals who all try to help him. This is a very sweet little story brought to life with beautiful illustrations. The style of drawing is contemporary and uses bold colors making the book a pleasure to read and to look at.
 
Commotion in the Ocean by Giles Andreae and David Wojtowycz - Written in rhyme, this book is just a delight. It's packed with creatures from the ocean all illustrated in bright and very colorful drawings. It's fun to read aloud and even more fun when you do the actions of the sea creatures with your 2 year old.
 
I Really Want to Eat a Child by Sylvianne Donnio - This book is aimed at toddlers that are fussy eaters but can be enjoyed but all toddlers. It's a story of a baby crocodile who one fine day decides that he wants to eat a child and nothing else. His parents are full of worry because he's not eating. It's a lovely story and nicely illustrated, again a pleasure to read.

Once upon a Potty by Alona Frankel - As the title suggests, this book is the perfect accompaniment to potty training. There is a boy and girl version so it's suitable for all toddlers. The book is American so it refers to nappies as diapers and there are a few other American terms. But you can easily replace the necessary words and you're left with a simple, easy to understand story about potties and what they're used for. The illustrations are bright and eye-catching and if your toddler likes the book, it will probably encourage him to use the potty.
